Rant for the Day (keep it clean)

Looks like it's time to build a wall on our northern border too. Canada has fallen.

It boggles my mind that the LGBT group could even remotely think that crap like this will advance their cause. Can they not see what they are doing to themselves? Any respect or support they still have is going down like a submarine with a screen door.

It boggles my mind even more that the country of Canada tolerates this kind of behavior, let alone supports it in their legal system. What in the **** happened to Canada? I can't believe how fast they lurched downwards. The US is racing there as well, but Canada really leapfrogged us and got there first. The competition to be the worst is fierce indeed!

Remember when we had real men in the world?

Anyway, my rant is small:
every time I cut a budget, the prices go up!

In some ways the movie Idiocracy is starting to look possible.

Minor gripe but it's about my brother being a jerk again. So yesterday when he was supposed to be helping he stood around griping about being there, griped when I asked for help with specific things, and then was criticizing everything I was doing (friend defended me). When around other people he tries to act superior to me so he amps up his jerk factor. But it was after the work was done that he had a snit in the truck. We haven't had pizza in a very long time and I decided to get some. He has the app on his phone and could select to pay when we picked the pizza up so I would be paying for it. He wanted pepperoni but I can't eat it. First off I hate it and 2nd it makes me sick. I wanted mushrooms. He likes mushrooms. He started whining that he wanted pepperoni and I said "I can't eat pepperoni and you CAN eat mushrooms". I asked him if he could order half and half but he ignored me. He wanted to order a whole pizza just for himself. I said "No, that's too expensive" and he suddenly started yelling at me that I'm a selfish B and he always has to compromise (which is absolute BS). I pointed out that I wasn't asking to use a topping that he hated and he was basically asking to have the pizza all to himself without paying for it himself. He didn't back down but he still ordered the pizza and acted like I was the unreasonable one. After we ate he acted like nothing had happened. No apology. No acknowledgement that he was a dick. He really does have main character syndrome. Especially since he will use ingredients that he didn't pay for to cook family sized meals for just himself using stuff he knows no one else in the house will or can eat. He'll deliberately include stuff he knows I can't eat so he can hog it to himself. The last few times he was supposed to cook for us he used stuff that Mom didn't like so she ended up not eating it when it was supposed to be for her. And when I asked him NOT to use that stuff he basically called me stupid and insisted that it wouldn't ruin it for Mom if he used the stuff. Now, Mom is partially to blame for how he turned out bc she's the one who spoiled him rotten and always caved when he cried or had a tantrum bc he didn't get his way.

Meanwhile, they must have a shortage on cheese and mushrooms bc the cheese wasn't even visible on the pizza and there were less than 10 mushroom slices on the entire pizza. Bonus points, I was reminded of why I don't eat pizza anymore bc I woke up to burping up bile.

Maybe you should have dumped his spoiled a$$ on the side of the road.

Replacement bulbs for Christmas lights, in a large quantity, cost more than a string of lights.

Saint Jude organization constantly runs tv advertising, asking for donations. I would love to make a sizable donation, but this stops me cold:

James R. Downing, M.D. is the President and CEO of St. Jude
June 30, 2023 included a salary and incentive compensation of $1,108,532
In 2020, Downing's compensation was $2,324,885

Agreed.

A law should be passed, forcing all charities to disclose, in every ad they run, the percentage of donations that actually make it to recipients.

Without that, there is no accountability and most charities get run to benefit the staff first.
